Subject: Re: default mode for email drafts

Message-ID: <E1Ej1GC-0005E7-W6@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)

I visited with C-x C-f a file whose file-name is an integer and whose
immediate directory is named "drafts", and to my surprise I found
myself in mh-letter-mode. I was surprised because I not only don't
use mh-e but I don't even have MH installed on my system. I use Gnus
to read and send email messages, and Gnus has a special group for
drafts, and of course visiting a draft within Gnus DTRT. The problem
is that Gnus uses a file structure for drafts that matches the regexp
which auto-mode-alist associates exclusively with mh-letter-mode,
which takes effect when visiting drafts outside of Gnus.
I think that Gnus should change the file name so that mh-e won't
be triggered. Is there any obstacle to this?
I would
guess that mh-e also a mechanism for visiting drafts in the
appropriate mode. So does this association really have to forced for
C-x C-f?
It ought to be. Why should we choose to make one mode work well or
the other? We can make both work well.
